Orford Countryside

| September 27, 2013

There’s nothing better than jumping in muddy puddles, especially when Imogen has chosen the clothes she wants to wear which include a skirt that got soaked in water!

It’s the simple things in life that bring so much pleasure. We just love being surrounded by nature and getting out into the great outdoors. And then cosying up back at home.

Family Day Out in Whitstable

| July 5, 2013

When we discovered the forecast was for 26 degrees we knew we had to get to the beach. Imogen loves the seaside and it’s been a few months since our last beach adventures in New Zealand and France.

We decided to have a family day out in Whitstable, Kent. It’s roughly a one hour drive from where we live in London. I find that just getting out of London feels like a mini holiday and we certainly packed enough to make it feel like we were going away for a few days! We love being close to nature and visiting the beach for a day was great fun.

The Whitstable Fish Market by the quay was open and selling a variety of fresh seafood.

We found an Oyster Shell Recycling point where used oyster shells are deposited to help re-establish oyster beds for the future.
